Description
Description
The Old Rectory is a fine example of a country house situated in a highly accessible location to enjoy the beautiful and renowned Suffolk coast.
Offering substantial accommodation which lends itself to being a wonderful family home, The Old Rectory is a must-see property to be fully appreciated.
Believed to date back to 1840 the house has retained many fine features of the period such as the high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces and original Victorian tiled floor to the entrance hall.
The ground floor comprises of an excellent living arrangement thanks to four reception rooms including an elegant drawing room, formal dining hall, useful study which is ideal for working from home and a separate sitting room which provides for a multi-purpose use of the space as either a snug winter room or perhaps as a playroom with it being well positioned off the kitchen.
The Kitchen/breakfast room features a vaulted ceiling and offers a plethora of wall and base level units underneath stone work surfaces. With its quintessential country living appliance, the aga taking pride of place in the kitchen but also with the practicality of a separate oven and hob for the summer months, everything has been thought of to create a kitchen delight. A useful pantry allows for further storage. The ground floor is completed by a utility room, cloakroom and cellar with a particular highlight being the welcoming reception hall which personifies the period and charm that the Old Rectory conveys.
To the first floor are five bedrooms including both the principal and the guest room benefitting from en suite facilities. The remaining three bedrooms are served via a family bathroom, well situated between the rooms.
During the current owners tenure, they had undertook a schedule of renovation works to keep the property maintained and as such offer a rare find of a perfectly refined family home.
